Blotter may include but not be limited to new laws, community safety tips, new programs being offered by the department, recent investigatory successes, crime trends, unsolved cases, closed roads, emergency preparedness, etc.‚ Occasionally, we may even request assistance from our subscribers on a current investigation, as each citizen is an extra set of eyes and ears in the community to help us gather information.‚ We at the Kingsport Police Department realize that while the actual members of the department accomplish a great deal every day, we can accomplish so much more with the help of our citizenry.‚ If anyone wishes to subscribe to the new K.P.D. Blotter, all they need to do is send an e-mail request to KPDBlotter@KingsportTN.gov, and they will be added to the distribution list.‚ For additional information or questions concerning the new K.P.D.
